Marry my elder sister? Fine! I'll give you the letter of annulment and marry someone else.

Xin Wanyun led the army to continue pushing forward, but Liu Ruoyu did not follow.

She stayed in Hualuo City and took good care of Cang Jian every day.

Jiang Li's body had been kneeling at the city gate, and no one moved. He was there, enduring the wind, the sun, the rain, as if atonement for his sins.

Finally, the common people and the soldiers of the State of Li could no longer bear to watch and asked if they could collect the body of Prime Minister Jiang.

Xin Wanyun could feel Jiang Li's status in Li Guo's heart. She knew that he was respected by everyone and all his subjects believed in him. She didn't want to cause these people to feel resentful before they even integrated into the Phoenix Country, so she waved her hand and agreed.

The people buried Jiang Li's body on a hillside outside the city. Looking up, they could see the golden sunlight shining on Hualuo City.

In fact, everyone knew that if Jiang Li himself was not willing to give up, it would cost a considerable price for Huang Kingdom to take over Li Kingdom.

But who could have thought that Jiang Li would really give in to such a big country.

He should have thought of this outcome when he locked himself up for several days and nights and decided to set off to the north to confront the State of Wei.

He has always been good at planning and strategizing, so he decided to personally stand in the front to solve this major hidden danger of Wei State and weaken its strength.

Even if the State of Wei wants to take action against Liu Ruoyu in the future, it will have to think carefully.

Xin Wanyun had been marching and fighting all his life, and this was the first time he had seen a madman like Jiang Li.

He is completely crazy, doing whatever he wants and fearless.

He could even calmly face death just to hug Liu Ruoyu.

No one is crazier than him.

Xin Wanyun shook her head. As expected, love would only affect the speed of drawing the sword. Fortunately, she only had Aluan as her apprentice.

But the most important thing is that Jiang Li should never have attacked Cang Qiong.

Everyone likes the carefree and heartless young master. He seems to have never encountered any major setbacks and has never known the feeling of worry in his life.

But such a lively young master is now weak and unconscious, with no sign of waking up.

Liu Ruoyu called in his ear every day, hoping for a miracle to happen.

However, there was no miracle and Cang Jing remained unconscious.

Seven days passed like this, and Liu Ruoyu had calmed down a bit from the intense grief.

She knew that she couldn't stay here forever. Even if it meant death, she couldn't let Cang Jian die in a foreign land.

We must not let Mr. Cang and Mrs. Cang miss out on seeing Cang Qiong for the last time. By now, the news of Cang Qiong’s injury should have been reported back to the capital.

Thinking of Madam Cang and Master Cang who treated her so well, Liu Ruoyu felt even more guilty.

She shouldn't have brought Cang Jian with her. It was all her fault for being careless and underestimating the enemy. She knew that Jiang Li was a snake spitting out tongue, so why didn't she take more precautions?

It's all her fault...

Blame her for being too arrogant and self-righteous!

Tears fell in strings, and her mood, which had finally calmed down, fell into a dead end again.

At this time, A Luan and Xie Ting, who had stayed behind to cover the retreat, walked in and said, "Master Liu, please stop blaming yourself. The carriages and horses are ready, so let's set off."

Liu Ruoyu wiped the tears from her face and choked up, "Okay, thank you for your help."

With the help of everyone, Cang Jian lay down safely in the carriage.

This carriage was specially modified with soft cushions inside and improved wheels to ensure that the bumps on the road would not aggravate Cang Jing's injuries.

After saying goodbye to them, Liu Ruoyu got on the carriage and whipped the horse to leave.

Alua and Xie Ting stood at the city gate, staring at the shadow of the carriage going away, without moving for a long time.

Finally, Xie Ting said, "Aluan, do you think Young Master Cang can survive this ordeal?"

"do not know."

A Luan answered honestly, but she hoped Cang Qiong could pull through.

She was about to turn around and go back when her arm was suddenly grabbed.

She turned around confused and saw Xie Ting's serious eyes. He swallowed, and the emotion in his eyes was extremely strong at this moment, as if something was about to burst out.

"Aluan."

He tried to make his voice sound calm, "I have something to tell you."

He took several deep breaths, as if to cheer himself up.

Finally, he prepared himself mentally, and when he was about to speak, he met Aluan's clear eyes again.

His heart trembled, and he turned his head away nervously, "I... I..."

I tried several times but still didn't know how to start.

If he spoke too directly, wouldn’t it scare A-luan?

"what happened to you?"

A Luan was completely confused and didn't know what Xie Ting was going to do.

Xie Ting's chest heaved violently. After a long while, he simply gave up saying it and pulled him into his arms.

Alua was startled and could only hear a strong heartbeat in her ears.

She immediately tensed up, "What's going on? Someone attacked?!"

She struggled and was about to take a defensive stance, but Xie Ting quickly pressed her back into his arms.

"There was no sneak attack."

"Why are you hugging me if I didn't sneak attack you?"

Ah Luan was speechless. Just as she was about to break free, she suddenly thought, "Could it be that one of my godmother's spies is watching us nearby?"

My godmother shouldn’t be that boring.

"No, and not really."

Xie Ting's deep, magnetic voice echoed overhead. He took another deep breath and said, "I'm hugging you because I love you, A-Luan. I love you. I don't want to play along with you to please our elders anymore. I want to make this real with you."

I want to make it real with you~

Alua was shocked by the sudden confession of feelings, and her head was buzzing with these words echoing over and over again.

The shock she felt from these words was like seeing a pig climbing a tree. Xie Ting was attracted to her? When did this happen?

She stood there for a long time without coming to her senses, and even forgot to push Xie Ting away.

Xie Tingze was nervously observing Aluan's expression.

After hearing her words, her expression was first shocked, then confused, and then suspicious.

Before Xie Ting could figure out what this suspicion meant, he heard Ah Luan take a few steps forward with a defensive look on her face and say, "How can you please me? Tell me the truth, are you being coerced? If you are, just blink."

Before this, Xie Ting had thought of Aluan's ten thousand reactions.

It could be that you don't have any feelings for him and reject him, or the least likely possibility is that you have a mutual understanding with him.

It was also possible that she thought he was joking and didn't take it seriously. He even thought about what he would say if she thought he was joking.

But I never expected that she would be so imaginative and come up with such a conspiracy theory.

He scratched his head helplessly, "No one coerced me."

Ah Luan carefully looked Xie Ting up and down, and after confirming that he had not been possessed, she asked, "Then what do you like about me?"

She didn't understand.

Song Chenfeng had clearly said before that no one would like a woman like her, and even when he had to choose between her and the gentle Cuihua, he always chose Cuihua.
